Temple, Los Angeles

Temple, Los Angeles is a middle-income neighborhood of northern Los Angeles, California, United States. Temple consisted mostly of low-rise buildings, but its Chinese theater was a sight to behold. During the 1990s, Temple was controlled alternatively by The Families' Temple Drive Families set and the Ballas gang, but its gang activity was not always violent; the neighborhood was far from the front lines of the war in Compton, Inglewood, and East Los Angeles, and the neighborhood remained somewhat peaceful.
